No. A metaphor is a form of comparison but not using the words like or as, unlike similes. An example of a metaphor is, "My lamp the sun in the darkness of my room."

An implied metaphor is a metaphor that makes a comparison without directly stating the comparison. An example of an implied metaphor is saying someone squawked out a reply, because it implies that they are talking like a parrot without saying it outright.
The water laughed as it flowed over the rocks.

"I am a rainbow" is a example of metaphor because it is comparing two nouns, a person, and a rainbow, but does not use like or as. "I am not anger" is an example of metaphor because it is contrasting two nouns.

A short, witty statement expressing a single thought or observation. An epigram can also be paradoxical in nature. Epigrams are similar to aphorisms; however, most aphorisms express a general principle or truth about life in a sentence--epigrams can be a bit longer. Example: "What is a epigram? A dwarfish whole. Its body brevity, and wit its soul." -Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The sentence "I am a rock" is an example of a metaphor. It is comparing the speaker to a rock to convey strength, resilience, and emotional detachment.
This is an example of metaphor because it is a comparison between two unlike things (dazzling footwork and impressing others) without using "like" or "as."
